REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  1. Are you struggling right now to “hang in there”? In what area(s) of your life is this question most urgent? Is there someone in your life you can talk with about this struggle this week?

  2. The sermon describes two different models of prayer: charismatic (seeking an experience in God's presence) and prophetic (asking God to bring His Kingdom to earth). What are your experiences with each model? How might these two approaches to prayer sometimes feel like they're pulling us in different directions?

  3. Kenny said that, when it comes to these two models, the “blind spot” can be our humility. How might humility transform the purpose and power of our prayer lives?

  4. The theologian Henri Nouwen writes that “ the closer we come to God, the stronger will be God’s demand to let go of the many ‘safe’ structures we have built around ourselves.” How are you feeling challenged right now in your own prayer life? Do you sometimes avoid prayer… as a way to avoid feeling challenged?

  5. What are some ways you might become more disciplined in your prayer life? How might a richer prayer life be a blessing to you? How might it be a blessing to others?
